"in December, Venus can be seen in the sky near the moon, creating inspiring celestial scenes in early evening skies around the world. . .
this twilight view shows Venus about five minutes before the Moon passed in front of it, thus Venus vanished from sight for more than hour. . . the image is a combination of long and short exposures showing details of the lunar surface illuminated by both faint earthshine and bright sunlight. . ."
and this, in case you are wondering, is my good self in winter garb. . .

Down here, we'll be lucky to see anything through this rain!
But pinch and a punch -I'm first for once!
Ohmygosh....what gorgeous photos. And I like the snow inukshuk....there....with you, tyvm.
OH WAIT!!!! Maybe we'll get enough that I'll be able to make one!
Oh....how cool would that be?!
k...
Moon.
Venus.
SNOW!
k...we got a smattering. But no worries--we'll get more! :-)
I reckon it must be more than possible to make an inukshuk out of igloo style ice-blocks. . . course, whether that is possible depends on how much snowfall one has. . .
(probably not possible with rain!)
